Tier 3 Option 22: Victoire Absolue TV
In an effort to enhance his public image - advice given from his agent - Victoire Absolue decided to make an appearance on sesame street. His appearance did not go very well, as his competitive attitude towards everything kind of spilled over and even the editing team couldn't clean it all the way up. He angrily refused to tickle Elmo, lectured the Cookie Monster for not eating enough fruits and vegetables, and almost came to blows with Oscar the Grouch. Ultimately the only usable footage from his appearance came from a spontaneous game of hearts he engaged with involving the Count von Count and Big Bird. This initial appearance was supposed to be a test run to see if he had the makeup to star in his own kids show, but alas the results are in and the answer is: absolutely not. Absolue's future in film and television is strictly limited to playing drill sergeants and spirited warriors, and he should stay as far away from comedy as humanly possible.
Tier 3 Option 25: Halftime show!
I'm thinking this is actually a really good idea. I'd love to do a Jiminy Glick style in-character interview with a different star of the league every season. We spent so much time and effort building up our players and preparing to dominate on the pixelated field of play, now let's tear them down with a between two ferns style comedy interview. I embarked on this for the TPE but now I'm thinking this idea really has legs. It doesn't have to JUST be for the halftime show either, it can be a monthly feature and even streamed live in the VC. Work is beyond wild and crazy at the moment for me, so I'll have to revisit this when things calm down a bit, but I'd love to strap an engine to this idea and let er rip.
Tier 3 Option 28: Alternate position
Vic is a safety turned linebacker, and it's hard to imagine him as anything else, but if I HAD to play him on offense, I'm thinking he would be a blocking tight end. I think of Vic as being not particularly flashy on the field, so wide receiver and running back don't really make sense. As a blocking tight end, he would be able to focus intensely on his role and simply execute to the best of his ability on every play. His receiving stats would most likely be anemic, but the overall team offense would perform at an elevated level because of the pancakes he would be doling out on the daily. Thankfully, we don't have to live in a world very Vic has to play offense. He was truly born to strap on a helmet and pads, mark the ball carrier as quickly as possible, and tackle the ever-loving shit out of them before they can make any kind of move towards the end zone.
Tier 3 Option 29: Rule Change
This is not a popular opinion, but I think the NFL is broken. In the early days of football, they played with leather helmets. It was totally crazy. The game was slower then, the athletes not nearly so fine tuned by modern advances in training and nutrition. These days, the level of athleticism is so high that the collisions have reached a level of intensity that unfortunately has tainted the game for me. The frequency of injuries is out of control, particularly when it comes to concussions which I find the most concerning. I'd like to see football be entirely reimagined. Is the answer flag football? Some altered form of rugby? Surely we can find something to do on sunday that doesn't permanently impair quite so many young men. It's the best way that I can think of to honor the life and legacy of Junior Seau and many others.
